To all whom t may concern.

Be it known that I, ALBERT F. WAGNER,

- a citizen ofthe United. States, and residing especially at New York,in the" county of New York and State of New York, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Motor-Cleaners, of which the following isa specification, such as will enable those skilled in the art to whichitlappertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to a device for use in cleanin complicatedmachinery, and 01* cleaning automobile engines or motors, and the objectthereof is to provide a device of this class which is simplel inconstruction and operation, and which may be easily manipulated to cleanthe outer surface of all parts of an apparatus of the class specifiedwithout disconnecting said parts; and with this and other objects inview the invention consists in a device /of the class specifiedconstructed as hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention is fully disclosed in the following speciiication of whichthe accompanying drawing forms a part, and in which the separate partsof my improvement are designated by suitable reference characters, saiddrawing being a sectional side view of my improved cleaning device.

In the practice of my invention I provide a nozzle head a comprising abody portion a2, and a nozzle a3 which projects at an angle to said bodyportion, the angle of the nozzle to the body portion being referably anobtuse angle. The body portion a2 is provided with two tube sockets a4and a5 adapted to receive respectively tubes, b and c, and the nozzle a3is provided with a comparatively large longitudinal bore a having areducgd. angle portion a which co-mmuni- Cates with the tube socket a,and a small supplemental bore as forms a communication between the tubesocket a and the bore a of the'nozzle c3. The tubes b and c may bescrewed into the sockets a4 and a5 or be secured therein in any desiredmanner, and

the tube b is larger than the tube c, and

mounted on said tubes is a handle Z'by which the devicemay bemanipulated. The outer end of the 'tubeA b is provided, in the form ofconstruction shown, with a coupling e with which a flexible hose or tubef may be connected, and the outer end of the tube c is providedwith ahead g with which a Hexible. hose or tube k may be connected, and

the outer ends of the tubes b and c are preferably separated tofacilitate the connection of the hose or tubes f and 7L therewith. Thenozzle a3 is provided with a spray or vapor- 1z1ng outlet a of anydesired form of construction, and in practice the iiexble tube or h osef is connected with a tank containing a1r under pressure, or with anysuitable air .compressing device, and the tube or hose la 1s connecte`with a tank containing petroleurl *not er suitable oil, and when thedevice is in operation there is a strong discharge of vaporized oil andair from the nozzle ay which may be directed onto, or into, any part ofan automobile engine, or other apparatus for the purpose of cleaning thesame, vthe said device in this operation being manipulated and thedirection of the scliarge controlled by means of the han- In cleaningautomobile engines or other apparatus, and especially an apparatus con-.sisting of a large number of small parts, it 1s very hard, especiallywith the devices usually employed for this purpose, to so manipulate thesame as to clean out the corners, connections, angles, and other partsof t-he apparatus, but with my improved cleaning device, which operatesvas a blast cleaner, all of said parts pan be quickly, easily, andcompletely cleaned by directing the blast of air and oil thereinto orthereon. It must be understood that only a small amount of oil is usedin the blast, and the amount so used is regulated by the size of thebore as in the body of the head a. It will be understood that the pipesb and c may be provided with valves if desired, or

valves may be placed adjacent to the tanks or other source of supplywith whichy the pipes or hose f and it are connected when the device isin use.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Let# ters Patent is y In a spraying device for cleaningmotors,

the combination with a' pair of tubes arranged side lby side, a handleprovided with apertures therethrough engaging said tubes, an integralspraying head connected to said tubes at one end of the same, said headhaving a discharge passage, sockets to receive said tubes and reducedpassages extending from said sockets to said discharge passage, one ofsaid reduced passages discharging into the discharge passage ,in advanceof the other,' the other ends of said-tubes being presence of thesubscribing witnesses this provided with means for connecting them 19thday of January 1912.

f respectivel to supplies of gasolene, and

compresse zur, the tubes being held in fixed 5 relation by the integralhead and the handle.

In testimony that claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in ALBERT F. WAGNER.
